I’ll vote for any CSM member that gets lights installed in structures. My workers are asking for better working conditions. ---

Recently an **AI Robot** has convinced the Robots in Jita to go on strike for better working conditions. They refuse to unload filthy mining barges, particularly @Glenduil’s skiff , without a substancial pay increase. They also demand that @Glenduil have a bath atleast once a year whether he needs one or not. ![skeletor](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/b/f/5/bf57079f0634d89dd96a9357de1d7efbc8a8e490.jpeg) ---

For some miners that insist on watching something else or walking away. There is no real help.. AFK Miner is really short for. You can gank my ship. Because I enjoy buying another ship and outfitting it. It is just Isk in my pocket. As both the ganker and the miner now need new ships to outfit. I sincerely hope that those that insist going AFK never stop. As it would be terrible for my bottom line. I have needs to you know. Wont someone please think of us filthy arms merchants. We need AFK miners and gankers out there blowing things up. Why if all miners were to be suddenly be on point and alert. Suddenly ganking would be a lot harder. Where would that leave me? To having to get an honest job, you say!? That is just a low blow.. Real low.. Such language.. SMH if your mother could hear you talk… 😜 ---

As both the ganker and the miner now need new ships to outfit. I sincerely hope that those that insist going AFK never stop. This is an honest response. To actually admit to wanting AFK miners. An alert miner makes money. An AFK miner doesn’t. It’s that simple. So if you hate mining, you should want AFK miners because their lasers are turned off because their hold is full and they’re easy to blow up. People should love AFK miners. ---

Aye. Well, 2 minutes and 26 seconds. That’s two cycles from each of the two lasers. If I let it go a third cycle, it’s way more than the ship can hold so it’s a lot of loss and the lasers shut off. So I transfer the ore from the Hulk to the Orca each cycle (73 seconds) and the lasers keep firing. ---

On my opinion voting should take place in game and only in highsec. Yulai maybe. > [@Voting in stations](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/voting-in-stations/499917): > > Hello EVE Online Community! CSM would be so much better if we had to vote in-game. And we had to travel to the voting place which should be in high sec. This evens the playing field between multiboxers and null blocs and “average players”. For example the null blocks and multiboxer have to put in effort for each vote compared to just mass mailing your alliance and linking the page to vote. Do you know what I mean, let’s discuss or not (for next CSM). Peace. ---
